A work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work, When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have structural integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed.

These stamped images of crazy birds were a sweet swap from a crafter friend Tanvi , I am not such a big fan of these birds but when I received it from her my son was all excited and wanted to make it his own !

I coloured them using my new found love for Soft Pastel chalks, They are easy to colour blend well and when brushed with water blends like a water colour . This did bring in magic and the effect I wanted !

Here I have used a 8x6 Canvas and coloured it with my Maped colour pens smoothy, they are colour crayons that turn into water colours when brushed with water! you can see my few other creations with these pens HERE

My new addition in the craft room is the Gesso, yes I have got it finally and put it in use and loving the effect that formed on the canvas !

Added in some scraps of paper and stencilled them like bricks for the birds to perch on and finally stamped a few twigs around . These wordings I have hand written !

Given it a 3d effect with double sided tapes to the birds so that they stand out !

Your project is amazing, however at Anything But Cute this month our theme is Mixed Media MAKEOVER and so, we require that you include a photograph of the item or project that you recycled to make your current piece. Also we need our challenge mentioned and linked back to in the post. Hugs, Samra DT
